Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

“Brother, it would be wonderful if Mr. Wen and Brother Bian Xiang were also willing to go up the mountain.”

Ou Peng also had a sharp eye; he immediately recognized Bian Xiang's exceptional martial arts skills. Even if all four of them attacked together, they weren't guaranteed to defeat him.

"If Mr. Wen would be so kind as to visit Liangshan, even if it's just to give a lecture to us leaders, that would be wonderful."

Ren Yuan truly admired Wen Huanzhang. Despite being out of office, he had the world's affairs on his mind. He could accurately grasp the overall situation without leaving his home, and he was particularly good at politics. He was truly worthy of being called the "Xiao He" (a legendary Chinese statesman).

According to Ren Yuan's previous plan, the first strategist in his Liangshan military advisory group should be Xiao Jiasui, who is both literate and martial, and the second should be Wen Huanzhang! Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu should be behind these two.

With him by my side, I can confidently entrust the rear to him when I lead my troops into battle, and I no longer have to worry about my base being raided.

As for Wen Huanzhang not having directly agreed to join the Liangshan Mountain, that's alright. Ren Yuan believes that once he arrives at Liangshan, he will naturally join.

Unfortunately, there isn't a good opportunity to find Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong yet. The latter is actually relatively easy to find. As long as the divine physician An Daoquan stays firmly in Liangshan, and then he steps forward to treat Xu Guanzhong's mother, this filial son will naturally come.

Ren Yuan even sometimes thought that Xu Guanzhong really resembled Xu Shu from the Three Kingdoms period!

As for An Daoquan, he is now so immersed in the free medical care environment provided by Liangshan that he is so happy that he doesn't want to leave.

Therefore, Ren Yuan felt that Xu Guanzhong was not in a big problem.

But Xiao Jiahui is a mysterious person. Although we know where he lives, he is often elusive and difficult to find. It will take some effort to find him.

"Since the chieftain values ​​me so much and has extended such a formal invitation, I will certainly visit the mountain stronghold."

Wen Huanzhang readily agreed because of his fondness for Ren Yuan.

"Brother Bian Xiang, what about you?"

"Then... I will also trouble Chief Ren for a while."

Although Bian Xiang still felt a connection with Tian Hu, he had been moved by Wen Huanzhang's analysis and Ren Yuan's evaluation of him.

A stranger knows more about him than Tian Hu does, so continuing to risk his life for Tian Hu... it's really not worth it!

"Great! Haha, Brother Bian Xiang, I also use an axe. Let's have a good match sometime!"

Mi Sheng was the happiest one because Bian Xiang really made him feel incredibly close to him!

"Brother Ou Peng, then I'll trouble you to break up the camp and come back with me."

“What are you saying, brother? Since we’re going to Liangshan, then we’ll naturally abandon this stronghold. Brother, please wait a moment, I’ll order my men to pack up tonight and we’ll set off first thing tomorrow morning! We’ll also have a banquet tonight to welcome Mr. Wen and Brother Bian Xiang!”

Ou Peng was particularly generous. As the chief of Huangmen Mountain, he had certainly heard of Ren Yuan's reputation. In addition, he had a very pleasant chat with Ren Yuan yesterday. Today, he was originally planning to order the whole village to pack up and then follow Ren Yuan up the mountain.

“Then we’ll go and tell the children to get ready. You two can chat for a while, brothers.”

Tao Zongwang and Ma Lin took their leave and hurried off to tidy up the village.

Mi Sheng, on the other hand, happily pulled Bian Xiang aside to spar with him. Both of them wielded large axes, but Bian Xiang's axe was heavier. According to him, it weighed eighty-two jin (approximately 40 kg), even heavier than Ren Yuan's three-pointed sword.

The two fought for sixty or seventy rounds without a clear winner, and finally ended in a very pleasant draw.

However, Ren Yuan could see that Bian Xiang was indeed a bit stronger than Mi Sheng. If neither of them fought desperately, and the fight continued for another twenty or thirty rounds, Mi Sheng would lose in terms of moves.

Ren Yuan then had a clearer understanding of his own martial arts skills, because now when he fought against the Mi Sheng, he would achieve roughly the same result.

That's good enough. Even if this ability hasn't completely reached its limit yet, it's one of the closest to it.

Besides, I've only been training for a few years. Once I gain more experience in battles, I'll definitely be able to reach the top tier.

That night, Huangmen Mountain held another grand banquet, and everyone drank happily. Wen Huanzhang even had a special talk with Ren Yuan, which further strengthened his determination to go to Liangshan.

As for Bian Xiang, he has completely integrated into Mi Sheng Ou Peng and the others, and is no longer the lone persuader running around.

The next day at dawn, Huangmen Mountain, naturally bearing the banner of Chai Da Guanren, had a total of more than 500 people and more than 160 horses. They disguised themselves as horse merchants and guards, set fire to the old mountain stronghold, and then set off together.

The journey was filled with laughter and joy until one day, the main force arrived at a place that looked dangerous.

This place is flanked by two high mountains that look almost identical, separated by a wide post road, much like the Chu-Han border separating the two mountains.

Ren Yuan found it interesting and turned to ask Ou Peng, "Brother, you've been on Huangmen Mountain for a long time, do you know the name of this mountain?"

Ou Peng thought for a moment, then replied, "Brother, if I remember correctly, this should be Duiying Mountain."

"Yes, it should be Duiying Mountain. I've heard of it when I was traveling around the martial world. It's said that these two mountains are exactly the same except for their different directions. They really are like each other's shadows."

Bian Xiang also stated that this is indeed Tsui-Ying Mountain.

"This is interesting. Everyone should be careful. Things might not be peaceful for Kageyama."

Ren Yuan had already remembered that the people on those two mountains should be none other than Little Marquis Wen, Lü Fang, and Guo Sheng, the Second Ren Gui. Moreover, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Guo Sheng was actually Guo Jing's ancestor...

As the group was talking on horseback, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the mountains ahead. Mi Sheng's face lit up with joy, and he said to Ren Yuan, "Brother! There must be troublemakers up ahead. Let me go and chop them down!"

Ren Yuan raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be impulsive. The situation is unclear. Let's go and take a look first."

So Ren Yuan, Bian Xiang, Ou Peng, and Mi Sheng rode forward first, while the others continued to hold the line.

After walking for more than half a mile, the four of them saw a group of people in the distance, about a hundred in number, with a young, strong warrior leading the way. As for the appearance of this young warrior, there is a poem to describe it:

He wore a three-pronged purple-gold crown, adorned with gold and jade ornaments; his robe was a brocade robe with a hundred flowers, its fabric intricate patterns. His armor was covered in countless fiery dragon scales, and a red agate belt cinched his waist.

He rode a magnificent steed, as red as a dragon, and wielded a crimson-painted halberd. Behind him were his henchmen, all dressed in red robes and armor.

This valiant warrior, halberd drawn, stood on his horse and shouted before the hillside, "Today I will fight you to determine the victor and the vanquished!"

"Hey? This guy's kind of interesting, but who's he calling?"

Mi Sheng shaded his eyes with his hand to see better.

After the boy in red shouted, another group of people emerged from behind the opposite mountain peak, numbering over a hundred, and leading a young, valiant warrior. What did this warrior look like? A poem praises him:

On her head she wore a three-pronged white jade crown, topped with a cluster of auspicious snow; on her body she wore chainmail armor, covered with a thousand specks of frost. Her plain silk robe shone like the sun, its silver embellishments outshining the bright moon.

He rode a magnificent jade beast, wielding a cold, silver-tipped halberd. Behind him were junior officers, all dressed in plain white armor. This valiant warrior also wielded a halberd.

"They really are a perfect match, almost identical except for the color!" Ou Peng exclaimed, impressed by the two young players.

On one side, the flags were all plain white; on the other, they were all crimson. Red and white flags waved on both sides, accompanied by the resounding beat of drums. The two valiant men, without exchanging a word, each wielding a halberd, dismounted and began to fight on the wide road in the middle, testing their strength!

"Brother, shall we move closer?"

Bian Xiang could tell that Ren Yuan was also eager to try, so he spoke up.

"Okay, let's get a closer look."

Ren Yuan had already guessed that the two people were Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, but he also wanted to see how these two young generals, who were dressed almost identically, would fight.

Red and white intertwine, peach blossoms and pear blossoms vie for beauty! People come and go, fire and snow contend for supremacy!

The two young generals each wielded a halberd and fought for more than thirty rounds without a clear victor!

"Good! You've handled both halberds quite well!"

Ou Peng and the others were all highly skilled in martial arts, so they could naturally see the intricacies of this halberd technique. The two should be evenly matched.

"Yes, but if we keep fighting, something bad will happen."

As Ren Yuan spoke, he took out his iron-framed bow.

The crowd was puzzled. At that moment, they saw the two young generals fighting fiercely. One of their halberds was adorned with a golden leopard tail, and the other with a five-colored golden banner. They were tangled together, their ribbons knotted together. The two men tried to pull them apart with brute force, but they couldn't separate them!

"Open it for me!"

Just then, Ren Yuan made his move!

He took out a wolf-tooth arrow, drew his iron-rimmed bow to its full extent, and fired an arrow at the spot where the two men's weapons were entangled!

I'm sorry, Hua Rong, but I'll take the arrow from Ying Shan for you!
